Inquisition : The Persecution and Prosecution of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon by Carlton Sherwood.
The author is the only reporter ever to have won both a Pulitzer Prize and a Peabody Award.
Review from Booknews, Inc., 06/01/92: In 1984, investigative reporter Sherwood accepted a job with the Washington Times, which was owned and operated by the Unification Church, itself founded and led by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon who had just been convicted on federal charges of tax evasion and conspiracy and sentenced to 18 months in prison. Instead of the corruption, scandal, and hypocrisy Sherwood expected to uncover, be found a very different story--the story of how the American prosecutorial system can be abused to persecute a religion and its leader.
